Chlorine dioxide powder is a dry chemical compound that is used as a disinfectant, sanitizer, and oxidizing agent. It is commonly used in water treatment, food and beverage processing, agriculture, bleaching applications, and more as a delivery system to generate Chlorine Dioxide solution on-site.

When mixed with water, the powder releases chlorine dioxide, which is highly effective in killing bacteria, viruses, fungi, and other pathogens.

Chlorine Dioxide is known to be extremely versatile as a disinfectant and is used in a plethora of industries for various applications. Few of the more mainstream applications are:

  • Water Treatment: Used to disinfect and purify drinking water, swimming pool water, and wastewater.
  • Food and Beverage Processing: Used as a sanitizer to prevent spoilage and contamination of food products.
  • Household and Industrial Cleaning: Used as a sanitizer and disinfectant for household and industrial surfaces.
  • Paper/Pulp & Textile Processing: Used as a bleach and whitener for textile and paper products.
  • Swine and Poultry Production: Used for the control of pathogens in swine and poultry production facilities. 

 

VARIOUS FORMS OF CHLORINE DIOXIDE AVAILABLE IN THE MARKET

Due to the versatile range of applications where ClO2 is used as a disinfectant, there are various forms in which the product is marketed, sold and used. The various forms of chlorine dioxide available in the market include:

  1. Powder: A dry form of chlorine dioxide that is often used in water treatment systems, especially in developing countries.
  2. Gas: Chlorine dioxide gas is used in commercial applications such as food processing and air treatment. Chlorine Dioxide generators are used for this,
  3. Liquid Solution: A concentrated form of chlorine dioxide that is often used for large-scale water treatment and industrial applications.

Although available in so many forms, there are a lot of telling factors which make the use of powder Chlorine Dioxide the most prevalent and convenient in most of the industries.

 

REASONS TO USE CHLORINE DIOXIDE POWDER OVER CHLORINE DIOXIDE GENERATORS:

  • Convenient and easy to use: Chlorine dioxide powder can be easily transported and stored, making it a convenient solution for on-site treatment.
  • Cost-effective: Chlorine dioxide powder is often less expensive than a chlorine dioxide generator.
  • No heavy capital investment: Since powder is generated on-site, there is no investment in expensive equipment such as generators which also make the company unnecessarily asset heavy.
  • No electricity required: Chlorine dioxide powder does not require electricity to produce the disinfectant, making it suitable for remote or off-grid locations.
  • Precise dosing: Chlorine dioxide powder allows for more precise dosing compared to generators, which can be affected by water temperature and flow rate.

 

REASONS TO USE CHLORINE DIOXIDE POWDER OVER LIQUID CHLORINE DIOXIDE:

  • Easier to transport: Chlorine dioxide powder is more compact and lightweight than liquid, making it easier to transport.
  • Longer shelf life: Chlorine dioxide powder has a longer shelf life compared to liquid, making it more suitable for storage and emergency preparedness.
  • More cost-effective: Chlorine dioxide powder is often more cost-effective compared to liquid, due to lower production and shipping costs.
  • More controlled dosing: Chlorine dioxide powder can be accurately measured and dosed, providing more control over the treatment process compared to liquid forms.
